| Description In this workshop, we see two master teachers help their students develop as readers and writers of poetry. The workshop begins midway through Vivian Johnson's five-week poetry unit as she introduces a lesson on line breaks to her students. After the class analyzes several models that exemplify the power of line breaks, the students apply what they have learned to their own writing and share their work with each other. Like Vivian, Jack Wilde is using a published poem to teach his fifth-grade students about writing poetry. After the students read and analyze the poem, Jack gives them a topic and has them practice writing stanzas modeled on the exemplar to combine into a class poem. The students share their writing, and then Jack leads them in a discussion of how they might apply what they have learned from this exercise to writing their own poetry. While the videos take place in middle school classrooms, the skills and strategies taught are readily applicable to ABLE classrooms.
